LACO PILOT AACHEN 42 “BLAUE STUNDE” AUTOMATIC 862101.2

A Modern Take on a Classic Pilot’s Watch

With the Blaue Stunde (“Blue Hour”) edition, Laco reinterprets one of its most iconic pilot watches with a refined contemporary touch. The deep sunray blue dial creates a captivating play of light, shifting from a subtle dark blue to a vibrant glow depending on the angle. This elegant color palette elevates the traditional pilot design, transforming it into a true modern classic suitable for everyday wear.

Precision Automatic Movement & High-Quality Construction

At the heart of the Aachen 42 beats the Laco 2S automatic movement, based on the reliable Miyota 82S0, featuring hacking seconds for precise time setting. The 42 mm stainless steel case, finished in a satin-matte brushed texture, reinforces its technical aviation heritage while maintaining a clean, sophisticated profile. A sapphire crystal protects the dial, while the transparent sapphire case back allows a clear view of the mechanical movement inside.

Legibility, Comfort & Pilot Heritage

The blue dial is adorned with Arabic numerals and indexes filled with Super-LumiNova C3, ensuring excellent readability day and night. The matte black hands, also treated with Super-LumiNova C3, enhance contrast and visibility. Completing the design is a two-piece grey nylon strap, thicker and more refined than traditional NATO straps, perfectly matching the cool tones of the case and dial. With 5 ATM water resistance, a balanced 11.75 mm thickness, and a comfortable fit for wrists from 16 to 22 cm, this watch seamlessly blends authentic pilot heritage with modern elegance.
